A
bit of history:
GUIDO RENI
(1575 - 1642) |
"This
graceful and serene painting was executed after
Reni between 1615 and 1620 had been several times
to Rome."
|
|
Italian painter of popular
religious works and critically acclaimed mythological
scenes. He was born in Bologna and began to study
painting at the age of nine; he joined the Carracci
Academy when he was 20. His studies were rounded
off by a trip to Rome in about 1600. From that moment
on, antique and recent Roman art became his ideals.
He admired Raphael unconditionally. He did, however,
come to terms with Caravaggio's naturalism in a
group of youthful works such as The Crucifixion
of St Peter in the Vatican Gallery (1604), where
the use of chiaroscuro provided enormous energy.

Guido Reni was a quintessentially
classical academic but he was also one of the most
elegant painters in the annals of art history. He
was constantly seeking an absolute, rarefied perfection
which he measured against classical Antiquity and
Raphael. Because of this, over the years the Bolognese
painter has been in and out of fashion, depending
on the tastes of the times. The eighteenth century
loved him, the nineteenth century, persuaded by
the violent criticism of John Ruskin, hated him.
But even his detractors cannot deny the exceptional
technical quality of his work nor the clarity of
his supremely assured and harmonious brushwork.
